    Building mom a Core i5 PC

    Here's the final build: (I've since fixed the orientation of the cooler, thanks to friends on Facebook pointing out my mistake.) I have to admit that the build went a lot smoother than I expected. The most complicated part was figuring out the installation of the cooler (it felt like I was...

    Building mom a Core i5 PC

    I'm sure I'm not alone here in having family members ask me to build them a PC on occasion. Well, just imagine how that intensifies when you have a closet lined with motherboards, power supplies, CPU coolers and so forth! The last time I built a PC for mom was in 2007, I believe. The chassis...

    Are you looking forward to Windows 8?

    I forgot all about that. If that happened, it'd be cool as hell, but I can't see it. There have been a lot of times when I felt like loading up an X360 game but couldn't be stuffed to hook the console up.

    ASUS' P8Z77-V Premium Becomes First Intel-certified Thunderbolt Board

    We've talked a fair bit about Intel's Thunderbolt connector on the site before, but it's been hard to give an actual opinion on it since its home was on the Mac. Soon, that will change, with ASUS spearheading the PC-based releases with its P8Z77-V Premium motherboard - the first to become...

    Thermaltake Releases Fan-equipped Black Element Gaming Mouse

    Since the launch of its 'Tt eSPORTS' line of gaming peripherals, Thermaltake has had some rather interesting ideas to help gamers have the best experience possible.

    Intel Has 7nm & 5nm in R&D Pipeline
